The Africa Projects Development Centre extends its heartfelt congratulations to Chief Arunma Oteh on her outstanding achievement as the winner of the 2025 BCA African Business Book of the Year Award for her seminal work, All Hands on Deck: Unleash Prosperity through World-Class Capital Markets.

Chief Oteh's winning book provides sharp analysis and compelling narrative on the critical role of capital markets in driving Africa's development. As a renowned Nigerian economist, former Vice-President of the African Development Bank, former World Bank Treasurer, and former Director General of the Nigerian Security and Exchange Commission, her insights offer an unflinching look at the realities of business and economic transformation across Africa.

The book addresses structural challenges facing the continent while advocating for integrated, well-functioning capital markets as catalysts for prosperity, a vision that aligns perfectly with Africa Projects Development Centre's mission to promote sustainable development across the continent.

We applaud Chief Oteh for this well-deserved recognition and for her continued dedication to illuminating the path forward for Africa's economic advancement. Her work serves as an inspiration to policymakers, business leaders, and development practitioners across the continent.

Africa Projects Development Centre remains committed to supporting and amplifying such vital contributions to African development discourse. For those interested in exploring Dr. Oteh's insights further, the book can be purchased here: https://www.arunmaoteh.com/index.php/book/
